To change your screen resolution, please follow these steps:

1. Open Display in Control Panel.
2. On the Settings tab, under Screen resolution, drag the slider, and then click Apply.
3. When prompted to apply the settings, click OK. Your screen will turn black for a moment.
4. Once your screen resolution changes, you have 15 seconds to confirm the change. Click Yes to confirm the change; click No or do nothing to revert to your previous setting.
5. You can also try to download the latest copy of the video drivers from http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats?DriverId=0C8KR&FileId=2731101321 and install it.

Laptop Shuts Down My Acer Aspire 7520 [u]shuts down, loses power 5 - 25 seconds after powering on.[/u] :( It started when I was playing a video game and the laptop suddenly shut down. I thought it was overheating, so I let it cool down. About an hour later I turned it on and it boot normally, but 45 min. later the laptop shut down again. Next time I tried, it turned off 20, 5 minutes, then 30, 20 seconds later. In those 20 s after pressing the power button no errors or beeps occur, just the Acer logo screen. I even get past Acer logo sometimes or go to Bios password prompt if i press F2, just before laptop powers off. This all happened in the course of a few hours, laptop was working fine beforehand, no overheating (think so cause games lagged when laptop was overheating previously). If I turn it on again, just after it powered off, the laptop shuts down in 7 seconds, as opposed to 25 seconds if i leave it alone for a while. Also, according to task manager CPU and RAM usage is normal when shut down happens. [b]Tried[/b] Cleaning out the fan and the heat sink (wasn't that much dust). Applying new silver thermal grease to CPU and GPU after removing the old one. Powering on with only one RAM stick, then only the other. Powering on without the battery, only on AC power. Then only with the battery in. Removing Hard Drive. Powering on while putting pressure to the middle of the keyboard (read that this might pop the CMOS battery to it's slot if that's the problem). Pressing the power button for 1 min. There are a lot of people with Acer Aspire 7520 who have powering on and off in endless loop problem. Supposedly GPU reflow helps. I don't think my problem is the same, though because my laptop shuts down and doesn't restart. Also, my screen is working. This is the only computer I have. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
